Junpei, I love you!

I loved seeing the backstory to Nodate and Eriko's relationship. I have this sense that the way he feels towards her, may be more than just friendship. I'm not sure how that twist would work but it would be awesome if they hooked up. I was fooled right up until the end about Hanagata's mother, it was nicely done. This episode (and the one about the housewives), was one of the few times where I felt no sympathy for the criminal. He got what he deserved.
